Upper Hutt beat Petone with two well taken second half goals.
Petone seemed to have the better of possession and quality apart from in the attacking third. UH defended their box well.
Petone bench seemed to waste a lot of energy riding the refs in the last 10 minutes. One yellow card against them that could easily have been red had claims from the bench that it was not even a foul. Reaction of players around the incident suggested it was very naughty.
Referee though did seem to allow the UH keeper to get away with blue murder when it came time wasting

Also some other movements:
Albie Frances-Alles to Karori
MJ Des Tombes to IBU
Xavier Coleman to Petone
Few boys back from College at FC Western
Maybe a new OFC player showing up at Miramar (Ingham)

Couple of wild results:
Karori getting hammered 6-0
FC Western drawing with Wests.
Olympic losing.
Keeps it exciting. Napier doing the double over Olympic

Be hard for Wests from here huh. Think they needed to finish above Napier to qualify for national league.
Maybe in the end of an era at Olympic? I see they’ve signed Jayden Rodwell from the OFC. I understand Miramar has someone lined up as well. Owen Smith I’m guessing?

Not winning a 6th title in a row doesn't neccassarily mean it's all coming to an end, for all we know so far it's just a hiccup. Looking at their squad they have a number of younger guys coming through so they'll probably remain relevant for a few more years, plus, being in the winter national league should give them a better ability to sign players.

That said, the OPL could have an impact on big clubs ability to remain at the top long-term, so that might be something to look out for.

Looking at the match Stats, Olympic had 5 yellows and a straight red so discipline would have been a contributing factor in their loss

Olympic could have snuck an equaliser on a few occasions in the final 10 minutes but it just wouldn't fall for them.

Rovers were worth the win tbf, Olympic still look dangerous but this one just snuck away from them in a few key moments.

I have seen a short video of the keeper absolutely cleaning out JHS just before the defender saved it off the line. On another day I’m assuming that keeper gets a red and gives away a pen.
Meh!
